yep...you would think that downtown would be a nobrainer.

Imagine the number "$5M" haunting you two ways:
- it's all you're doing in athletic grants and raising that will get some Title IX eyeballs to verify all is well, or not
- it's what the NDSU academic bailout was -- imagine the press: $5M academic bailout used as FBS FB buy-inI stand by my observation:
Of the MTs, SDs, and NDs, UND has the smallest lift under the proposed rule, followed by NDSU."smallest lift"....explain for the guys in the back

It also means NDSU will certainly go FBS then. Hopefully UND learned from their previous mistakes and leads the way to FBS.

wonder who thought it would be a good idea to have 2 D! hockey programs that far away?
kinda like wyoming and wisco don't have "state" schools....even if Alaska needed a UAA branch why try to do D! athletics even if it is only one sport (men's hockey).....

The Bama situation is interesting, especially since they practice over an hour away in Birmingham. Only a matter of time until they get a rink in town.
when saban hears about adding men's hockey as a varsity sport...

Yeah I am not too worried about NDSU or UND. Affordable schools close to home that are much more respected than St. Cloud, MSUM, and Mankato.

I guess my original question was instead of doing these two current projects would it have been better for UND football and softball do ONE large project that brings UND football back on campus...a combo of UND, city, and big donors to make it happen.
you can take it one more step and say what if pollard would'nt have been built yet and it was also done at the same time...so instead of three different projects (4 if you could the soon to be addition to pollard) would it have looked better and been better for UND athletics to do something like my little not to scale drawing?

You didn't state that. And what would a Pollard at least 2x present size do.

Holy fugk..... It's extended North as far as possible..... Do I have to say that 2nd Ave n would have to be eliminated and where traffic would be redirected and whatnot....

It'd be nice if you had the Pollard Center oriented correctly to University and Columbia.
And there's not space for a football field due to MVII and the softball field.
Other than that ...
did u even read my post..............instead of MV and the new project combine them into ONE large football stadium with all those apartments/condos/retail built into it.
and yes pollard runs parallel the longway to columbia last i checked

the "old" texas rangers stadium had a county building built in the far outfield........
with the memorial village and now this huge project on the parking lot on university ave woudln't it have been fun if und/gf city announced an on campus football stadium with seating for 1x,000 or 2x,000 with all those apartments and meeting rooms on top of the bowl seating (kinda like lambeau field has all the seats in the bowl and then vertical luxury boxes).....AND incorporate teh softball field into it too so a lot of the apartments/dorm were in the outfield kinda like Skydome...
save money by doing one really really large project instead of two small projects and UND football would be back on campus
i biked by memorial village last night and boy is that gonna be cool with nice view onto the field and beyond

Correct, see my post as per above. Kennedy was on the right track, but UND fans have been conditioned over the years to think inequality towards the minority sport of hockey is somehow the best path moving forward. Plot twist: it’s not. UND hockey is overinflated and overfunded. UND could do so much more with the 52% of ticket revenue that goes to the REA (and hockey essentially). Basically, UND made a deal with the devil to allow a hockey mogul from Vegas indirectly run their athletic department. How in the hell is that a good idea? It definitely isn’t a good idea for football or basketball.
There’s also major bias at play in the community and on this forum, as the remaining UND fans are largely hockey fans. NDSU is/has pulled in the other casual football/basketball fans, unfortunately, of the region. A lot of UND fans from the 2000s have been converted.
so true.

Drove by last week and was blown away seeing it half down - RIP 215A! Moved in on a weekend when it was hotter than f*ck and remember going to every store in GF looking for a box fan - finally found one at the KMart (also long gone) and had some relief.
Had some hometown friends in West - we went to the old theater on Washington that eventually was home to WDAZ to see WarGames and enjoy our first weekend in the big city! I remember the old (legit) tunnel system underground where you could go and trade in your crappy bedding for fresh sheets but not until a couple months in and the sheets were pretty stinky when I finally discovered it (lol)
Antennae TV only - no cable or internet yet - got hooked on watching General Hospital because it was on when I was done with class for that freshman year because we only got a few channels.
Got a few knocks on the door from random RA's because they thought I was "cooking" in my dorm room. I had a pizza oven I used on weekends going to the old VD on campus that was in the basement of the building across from the Union - learned to open a window from that.
One time I came back early from a holiday with some ditch weed a buddy gave me. Smoked it - got a headache instead of a buzz and then had a knock on the door shortly after. I bullshitted some story about how my "native american" roommate had burned some sage earlier to purify the dorm room but he had left and the RA bought it. My actual roommate was a computer nerd from Stillwater.
ahh memories
Post of the year contender....."Burned some sage."
When were you on campus?
